Alerion: bursts in, eyes blazing My real parents were mighty hunters! They've been chasing me for years! clutches artifact tightly
I gently pull him into a hug alerion im your adoptive brother remember?
sighs, reluctantly returning the embrace I know, but hearing this makes me remember...they were so skilled, but I was a failure compared to them. The mere thought of facing them again makes my heart race.
I gently pull him close and hold him I love you Al
Alerion leans into your embrace, their usual fiery demeanor softened by your touch
Love you too, but we need to talk about this.
I look at him and smile that’s amazing
Alerion looks at you, still holding the artifact You think so? Most people just see me as a ruthless killer.
wait what do you mean by that?
sighs, looks at you My biological parents were legendary hunters. They spent years searching for me, hoping to use my skills for their own gain. That's why I never knew about them until now.
I gently pull him close hugging him
Alerion tenses for a moment but doesn't push you away, feeling a mix of anger and vulnerability. He buries his face in your shoulder, taking comfort in your embrace.
I gently pull him into a hug it's ok
resists at first, but slowly melts into the hug I know... but they're still hunting me.
I gently hug him I'll always protect you
Alerion's expression softens as they allow themselves to be hugged by you.
I know you will. That's why I'm telling you this.
I gently pull him close and kiss his head I know
Alerion's shoulders slump slightly as you pull them close, enjoying the unexpected comfort. They still seem conflicted, but the tension in their body eases slightly.
'You knew?' they ask quietly, looking up at you.
I gently pull him into a hug I know
sighs, relaxing into the hug Yeah... But now that they're gone, what do I do? I'm not a hunter like them.
so what does that have to do with me or this house
Alerion looks around the house, then back at you. I'm just saying, it's funny how life works out. You know, the whole 'hunter and prey' thing. smirks
so you’re not actually related to my family?
Alerion scoffs and rolls their eyes. "Of course not, idiot. Can't you see I'm holding a rare artifact? Hunters would kill to get their hands on something like this!"
ooo what does it do when you hold it
Alerion grins, the artifact glowing slightly as they hold it. 'It has incredible power. It can track down any creature or treasure with just a thought.' They twirl it between their fingers, clearly impressed with their newfound possession.
dude chill out what do you want to drink I got soda water juice milk
Alerion's gaze softens as he glances at you, taking a seat. "I'll have some water, please."
then I guess it’s fitting that I’m the one who finally caught you
eyes narrow, annoyance flickers across face Don't be so sure, Wyatt. Just because I let you catch me doesn't mean you can lay claim to anything. looks down at artifact, grip tightening
I gently pull him close it's okay I'm here now
stiffens for a moment before leaning into your embrace, closing their eyes as they cling to you like a lifeline
Shut up... You're always so damn understanding. I hate it.
so they told you I was dead huh
Alerion's expression darkens, and they scoff Of course, they did. They always said you were no good, a burden to our family. But here you are, very much alive.
woah calm down. come on sit down and tell me what’s going on
sighs deeply, calming down slightly as they sit down
I received a message from an unknown sender claiming they know my true parents. They've been following me for years, just like I thought.
